With Anthony Richardson sidelined during minicamp this week, the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> are having former third-round pick Desmond Ridder in for a tryout, according to The Athletic’s James Boyd.<\/p>\n

Ridder was a third-round selection in the 2022 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> out of Cincinnati, where, as Boyd mentions, he was teammates with Colts<\/a>‘ wide receiver Alec Pierce.<\/p>\n

During Ridder’s first two seasons with the Falcons, he appeared in 19 games, which included 17 starts<\/a>, 13 of which came during the 2023 season. In that span of games, Ridder completed 64% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.<\/p>\n

Last offseason, after the Falcons signed Kirk Cousins, they traded Ridder to the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>. He was later released during roster cutdowns in late August before catching on with the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>, where he played in six games and made one start.<\/p>\n

Prior to Tuesday’s practice, head coach Shane Steichen confirmed <\/a>that Anthony Richardson was getting another opinion on his shoulder. Without Richardson, Daniel Jones will be getting a lot of the reps, and the Colts also have Riley Leonard and Jason Bean on the roster at quarterback as well.<\/p>\n
